Episode #19: Managing acute coronary syndromes in NSTEMI patients with Shamir Mehta

Feb 9, 2010 13:45 EST


Patients with non-ST-elevation-myocardial-infarction outnumber their STEMI counterparts by a ratio that is estimated at between 5 and 8 to 1 and hence constitute a large public-health concern. Dr Shamir Mehta, a leader in NSTEMI research, joins the show to discuss the TIMACS study and share his opinions on the use of the cath lab in invasive strategies as well as the use of antithrombotic agents in NSTEMI patients.

Dr. Mehta, i'd like to ask you a question. what criterias would you use on patients with NSTEMI ACS on the use of invasive strategies? for example. an ischemic heart disease patient with two unstable angina with recurrent episode should be considered for surgical intervention. thanks! i'd appreciate your response.
